Father of 78 wants 100 kids by 2015

As much as I like to joke about how looking after a large family would drive me insane, I secretly fantasize about having more kids. I think it'd be a blast to spend my days chasing after multiple rug rats.

But I'm not sure I could handle 78. That's how many children Daad Mohammed Murad Abdul Rahman has with 15 wives (and ex wives -- local law says he can only have four wives at a time, so he has to keep divorcing the old ones to continue marrying).

And he's not done. Abdul Rahman says he's on the lookout for new brides -- women with whom he plans to father an addition 22 children, bringing him to the grand total of 100. The 60-year-old figures it'll take another three wives, and eight years to make that dream a reality.

The enormous family apparently lives in 15 houses, supported partially by their father's military pension and with money from the local government.

I'm not sure I agree with Mr. Abdul Rahman's century scheme, but I can't help but wish him luck in achieving it.

This makes me ill. People want to complain about clean air, clean water, extinct species, global warming, etc. etc. You know what all these problems have in common? Too many freeking people, that's what! Open your eyes and look at the root cause of the problem. Sheesh!

taxes? taxes? how come people are always crying about their taxes when something like this comes up? i'm pretty sure half of those moaning about their taxes "going to pay for this mans kids" don't even have a job. by the way, the article did not say where he is from so shut the hell up about your taxes.

Uh, for those of you who want to know where this man lives, it is NOT in the U.S. It clearly states in the article that "...local law states that he can only have four wives at a time..." So, our tax dollars are not being used to support this man and his family--at least not directly. I'm sure somehow, someway, our tax dollars are finding their way to this man.

On a different note...GROSS!!!!!!!!! If this man is divorcing his wives to be able to marry new wives, how old (or maybe I should ask how young) are the new wives. This man is 60. I repeat...GROSS!!!!!!

Hey #8, didn't you read the whole article? This guy does not live in the US. What's with your comment that WE are paying for him? You cannot have multiple wives here. Work more on your reading comprehension.... I say Good Luck Abdul!
